"Christmas Isn't Christmas"

Fancy paper, pretty ribbons
Wrap each present that is new
And the sounds of this good season fills the night
We'll light a fire, send seasons greetings
We'll sing a song of Yule
There's nothing wrong but this year Christmas isn't right

Oh it's a beautiful day
We'll give thanks and we'll pray
For every blessing and the dreams that came true
Oh it's a beautiful night
But I can't wait for first light
When the sky will shine a different kind of blue

Snow still falling, friends are calling
Bringing laughter and good cheer
Wine is flowing and another year's gone by
Nothing's changed but life keeps changing
Some say hello, some say goodbye
It's the memories that keep me warm tonight

Oh it's a beautiful day
We'll give thanks and we'll pray
For every blessing and the dreams that came true
Oh it's a beautiful night
But I can't wait for first light
That's when the sky will shine a different kind of blue
This year Christmas isn't Christmas without you

How am I supposed to let you go
When you're the only thing I've ever known
You're the reason that I keep holding on
Now who's strong and who's afraid
Tomorrow won't be yesterday
Tomorrow just can't be like yesterday

Fancy paper, pretty ribbons
Promise me you'll come home soon
'Cause Christmas isn't Christmas without you
Oh Christmas isn't Christmas without you
From the clip I heard on Apple Music, this is correct.

I was able to take an early listen to Christmas Isn't Christmas today.

It's pretty good and has a gorgeous melody. That's really all I have to say about it. I'll add it to my personal Christmas playlist going forward.

I miss Jon's powerful vocals so much.

Seems like it, but I'm assuming it will only be a lyric video.

Just listened to it, from NZ. Wow, this is the least bon jovi bon jovi song we've had in such a long time! There are some powerful rasp to it too. Jon voice isn't great, but he's giving it his all! Very impressed.

There is one backing vocal in the last part of the song that doesn't seem like it's Jon. And still something weird in the vocal mix. Either it was spliced together almost word by word, really multiple takes laid over each other (and not perfectly matching) or some weird technology. Especially on some of the "s"-sounds, you can hear some strange echo coming back.

I wouldn't necessarily say it was powerful but definitely some nice rasp on certain parts.

I like the production of it. 2020 esque, which I will take.

2020 varied a little between songs. Is it more similar to Let It Rain/Story of Love or Luv Can/Shine? I'm talking about sound and production, not style.

And....

Do you think we can use it as a reference for the new album, or do you feel like it's something quick for the occasion?
